Join DME for Peace on Thursday, January 21st, at 16:00 CET, as Sölvi Karlsson and Julian Niankoye Bolamou, of Search for Common Ground, join the Thursday Talks to lead a discussion on “Conflict Analysis and Sensitivity in Children and Youth Programming.”
Over 408 young people around the world live in contexts of violence and conflict. They often bear the brunt of violence, but at the same time they also often lead efforts for peace. Organizations working with young people in conflict-affected settings need to consider the interplay between their intended interventions, young people, and the specific conflict context.
Gathered from years of experience, Sölvi and Julien will share practical tips to help you design initiatives that are both conflict- and youth- sensitive. They will also explore real-world examples from Search’s youth-focused programming and good practices from across the peacebuilding field.
